Truro is the only city in Cornwall, its Cathedral towering above the skyline with its green spire and gothic aesthetic. The Cathedral was built at the start of the 1900s 250 feet in the sky with great big Victorian stained glass windows and the south aisle is one of the finest pieces of medieval architecture in Cornwall. Originally a market town and port way back over 800 years and boomed with the rest of Cornwall during the tin mining era.
Watergate Bay Beach at low tide is a wide golden sandy beach which backs on to high cliffs and is considered to be one of the best surfing beaches around Newquay with the Atlantic swell coming in. The bonus of this being slightly outside Newquay around 2 miles and at low tide you can still easily find yourself a quiet spot on here. Watergate is popular with surfers but also popular with families as this beach offered a large expanse of sand for activities with the children.
Longships Lighthouse is located in West Cornwall offshore from the famous Lands end attraction. This lighthouse has stood the test of strength and resilience since 1875, battled heavy storms and many ships have been stranded amongst the rocks in stormy seas.
